Right - and it turns out that it isn't useful..

gtk2+-2.12.11       GIMP Toolkit v2 - libraries for building X11 user interfaces

I was trying to build a new version of my favourite editor, dasher, which
told me:

checking for gnome... gnome-config: not found
configure: error: Package requirements (libgnome-2.0 libgnomeui-2.0 ) were not 
met:

Package gail was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gail.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'gail', required by 'libgnomecanvas-2.0', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables gnome_CFLAGS
and gnome_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Which is odd because:

# pkg-config --modversion gail
1.22.3


Extras:

libgnomecanvas-2.20.1.1 GNOME Canvas library

and in libgnomecanvas-2.20.1.1/ChangeLog
============================= 2.19.1 ========================
...
        * libgnomecanvas/libgnomecanvas-2.0.pc.in: depend on the right gail.pc
        file
...

and /usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig/gail.pc exists thanks to
gail-1.22.3         GNOME Accessibility Implementation Library
and
/usr/pkg/lib/libgnomecanvas-2.so.0.2001.0:
...
        -lgailutil.18 => /usr/pkg/lib/libgailutil.so.18


Also in libgnomecanvas-2.20.1.1/configure.in:

dnl required versions of other programs
m4_define([gtk_required_version],      [2.0.3])
m4_define([gail_required_version],     [1.9.0])
m4_define([libart_required_version],   [2.3.8])
m4_define([pango_required_version],    [1.0.1])
m4_define([libglade_required_version], [2.0.0])

All but gail appear in buildlinks, but that seems to be irrelevant

# pkg_info gail-1.22.3
Information for gail-1.22.3:
